Buckling Calculation for Cast Iron link
Buckling Calculation for Cast Iron link
(OP)
I recently have been performing design calculations for a small cast iron link with an applied bearing load (pins)on each end, compressing the link. 2.375 OD bushings are spaced 6" center to center at the link ends. cross section of the link 3" x 1.5" thick.
Using Eulers formula for pin ended columns, P = pi^2EI/L^2
I obtain a critical buckling force 18 times larger than the max load expected for failure due to pure compression!
What am I missing?

The force compressing the link?

I think the link to short to consider buckling.

Can cast iron fail in buckling? Is this not ductile behaviour?

I am actually replacing the old cast iron links with steel.
